Will 2010 Be a Recovery Year or the Year of the Temps

For some, 2009 was not a decline year, but for many it was. With a stock market showing recovery and the business news reflecting increased productivity without companies desiring to permanently increase staffing, who will the winner be? One winner will be the Temporary Personnel Services. If you are thinking about buying a business this year, you might be looking for a small well positioned Temporary Staffing Agency. There are franchises in this category as well as independents. Finding the right one will require a long search or the use of a business buying agent. Staffing has many categories including medical, home care, office, labor and more. Check in with a trusted business broker to see what's available. Some brokers have "Pocket Listings" that are closely held companies that "could be in play" but are not listed. Temporary employment won't only be good for 2010. This category has always produced solid results from well managed companies.
